Thank to Dim7 (Neil) for letting me know that the Grey Owls were in town! They never this far south but the cold weather mad ethem migrate a bit. So I went humting with my 80-400mm VR lens and got about 30 shots that I like. I'll post a few after the challenge.
It wasn't really sunset.. it was actually around noon. :-)
crop
increase red saturation to make it look like sunset
increase curves for the sky to get a richer blue
burned half the body to create the illusion of shadows due to low sun
slightly dodged the other half for more contrast then burned some of the highlights
voilà!
